WATFORD CYCLE HUB: HOLLY HEDGES CUT THRU

This 'Steady Plus' route is mainly along quiet, picturesque country lanes, with a few busier ones. There'll be some rolling hills, but no whoppers, with 757 feet of climbing in total. This will be a brilliant ride for you if you want to increase your distance and take on some rolling hills in a relaxed, supportive group.

Starting at Watford Cycle Hub the route takes us out through Chandlers Cross to Belsize and onto the verge of Bovingdon Green before heading back along the 'Holly Hedges Cut Thru' and returning via Sarratt, where we will stop for a drink and a snack before making our way back via Loudwater and Croxley Green.

As a Steady Plus category ride, the aim is to help everyone round the route without pace pressure, the pace average over the route will be around 8-10 mph.

Please bring a spare inner tube in case of a puncture - as it's easier to change an inner tube than repair a puncture. Watford Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4.50 new should you need to purchase one.

Please check your bike is in good working order before the ride - especially that your brakes are working & your tyres are pumped and wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions and perhaps a backpack so you can put on or take off layers as needed. Also bring some money for our cafe stop if you would like to buy a drink, snack or light lunch.

Watford Cycle Hub can check over your bike and we can pump up your tyres for you if you come in good time before the ride. If your bike might need a little more TLC or hasn't been ridden for a while, you can always bring it in for a free assessment. Watford Cycle Hub are a Not-For-Profit, Community Enterprise and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service. :)

We look forward to riding with you. :)
